Photo Puzzle: STS-4 Mission, Launch View of Columbia

On June 27, 1982, the STS-4 Missions launched from Pad 39A at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. This amazing photograph is a launch view of the Columbia, carrying a crew of two, Thomas K. Mattingly II and Henry W. Hartsfield, Jr.. 

This week we are celebrating the historic launch of two shuttle missions–STS-4 and STS-71– that rocketed into space on the same day, 13 years apart. Learn more about both iconic flights with three fast facts about each mission in our weekly Mission Monday.

Your challenge is to unscramble the image!
